SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 735,642, dated August 4, 1903.

Application tiled May 28,1903.. Serial No. 159,187. (No model.)

Y To all whom/ t Hetty concern.'

Beit known that I, PETER J. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ben Lomond, in the county of Santa Cruz and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improv-ements in Bottles; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and ex'- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to that class of bottles which have their necks and stopper devices arranged so that the bottle must be broken before its contents can be removed in order to prevent the use of thev bottle a second timev as 'an original package.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterVv which isl simple in construction andcomparatively inexpensive of production and Ywhich is very efficient for the purpose intended.

With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more f ully described, and particularly pointed out Ain the appended claim. Y

In the drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of the neck of a bottle constructed in accordance with my invention and showing the sealing-capin position. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the neck of the bottle before the cap has been placed upon the same. Fig. 3 is a similar View of the locking or sealing cap. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view through the sealing-cap'and the neck of the bottle, showing the cap in its locked position. Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view through the same on line fr, of Fig. 4.

Referring to the drawings by numeral, 1 denotes the upper portion of the body of a bottle, 2 the neck of the samefand 3 an integral cup which forms a guard-Wall for the neck. This cup-3 consists of a thick cylindrical wall, which surrounds the neck 2 and is connected to the same'by the thin web 5, which forms the bottom of the cup and which may be readily broken, as hereinafter described. The cup is thus concentrically spaced from the neck and extends longitudinally upon the same. At diametrically opposite points in the side of this cup I provide the slots or openings 6, in one or both of the walls of which is formed a recess 7, in which a spring 8 is adapted to be seated.

The sealing-cap 9, which forms a closure for the cup or guard-wall to prevent access to the neck, consists of a hollow cylinder of the same diameter as the cup. The upper end of said cap is closed, and its lowei` portion or endl is provided with diametrically opposite slots, forming the depending lugs'or arms 10, which correspond in shape tothe openings 7 in the cup, in which openings the said armsare adapted to seat. The sides of these arms 10, which contact with the walls of the slots 6 in the cup, are formed with the recesses 11, which are adapted to be engaged by the s pings 8 when the cap is placed upon the cup in order to seal or lock said cap injposition to prevent access to the neck of the bottle. Upon the inside of the cap in its upper end is a cushion 12, preferablyin the form of an elastic rubber disk. It will be observed upon reference to Fig. 4 of the drawings that when the cap is placed upon the cup so that the lugs v 10 engage the slots 7 and the springs 8 are engaged with the recesses 11 there will be a slight space between the upper end of the neck 2 of the bottle and the cushion 12. When it is desired to remove thecontents of the bottle, a light tapor blow with the hand upon the top of the cap will break the web 5, and Lthe cup and cap may then be removed from the neck in order to permit the cork or other seal 13 which closes the neck to be removed-in the usual manner. The cushion 12 will strike the top of the bottle-neck when the web 5 is broken, and-thus 4prevent the possible breaking of vthe neck 2. It is thus seen that the bottle will beso disfigured by the broken web 5 that it willV be unt for use and it will be impossible to refill and seal it as an original packagel* From the foregoing description, takenfin connection with the accompanying drawings,

the construction and operation 4ofthe inven`` tion will be readily understood-without requiring a more extended explanation. y

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be IOO resorted to Without departing from the prinsaid wall, and springs in the recesses of the ciple or sacrificing any of the advantages of ings and slots adapted to lock said cap upon this invention. the wall, substantially as described.

Having thus fully described my invention, In testimony whereof I have hereunto set x5 5 what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- Patent, ismesses.
